In the hall, Li Zhan hugged the little emperor up, and that movement looked very natural.

Standing by the side, Ji Qingzhou looked up secretly, secretly thinking that this picture looks a bit like "father's kindness and son's filial piety".

Li Zhan is 22 years old this year. If he got married earlier, the child would probably be as old as the little emperor.However, Ji Qingzhou remembers that in the original book, the regent was so devoted to political affairs that he never seemed to have a family. If it wasn't for his experience in Fengxian Pavilion that night, Ji Qingzhou must have suspected that Li Zhan was failing in some aspects.

Otherwise, if you want to be a good person, if you want to have status and looks, why don't you get married so late?

Li Zhan raised his eyes and met the young man's gaze.

The boy was obviously taken aback, and hastily lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"I heard from Mr. Lu that you are quite critical of His Majesty's homework?" the man said lightly.

Ji Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking himself this question, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu has Mr. Lu's own intentions. The slave speaks nonsense. Please forgive me, my lord."

"Forgive your innocence, let's talk." Li Zhan said.

The little emperor in his arms also looked at Ji Qingzhou curiously, with a smile on his face.

Ji Qingzhou did not expect that Lu Tingyi would complain to the regent. Since Li Zhan asked him face to face today, if he denied it again, he would appear guilty. Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty is very intelligent, and most of the poems are only memorized once or twice. But he is still young, and it is too early to learn many obscure scriptures, which will easily dampen His Majesty's interest in reading."

Hearing this, Li Zhan's eyes fell on the young man, and he asked, "What do you think?"

"The slave is dull, and I don't have any great insights. I just think that the complicated scriptures that His Majesty transcribes every day may be reduced." Ji Qingzhou said: "Your Majesty needs to recite for nearly an hour a day, and copy for nearly an hour. It is really hard work." A little bit."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, there was no movement in the hall for a long time.

After a while, Li Zhan looked out of the window and said, "I remember that when I was studying in the palace school when I was young, the Tai Tuo only had classes for half a day, and in the rest of the time, he always liked to take the late emperor and this king to do some interesting activities." Something out of the ordinary... In the small garden outside the palace school, there are still peach trees planted by the old man with us."

"Uncle Emperor." The little emperor probably sensed the loneliness in Li Zhan's tone, and put his arms around Li Zhan's neck, rubbing his little head against Li Zhan's forehead, with a very affectionate attitude.

"Forget it, let me think about it again." Li Zhan put the little emperor down and said, "Today is your mother's birthday, you go in and change your clothes, and after lunch, let them take you to the Longevity Palace." Please be safe."

The little emperor nodded obediently when he heard the words, looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "I want Eunuch Ji to change my clothes."

Li Zhan nodded slightly when he heard the words, and Ji Qingzhou led the little emperor to the inner hall.

It's not the first time for Ji Qingzhou to come to Li Cong's dormitory. These days, he is serving Li Cong. Although he is nominally serving pen and ink, Li Cong likes him and is always willing to be close to him. He often refuses to let him go back. Let him accompany you in the dormitory during the afternoon nap.

Tu Dayou also teased Ji Qingzhou for this, saying that since he came, His Majesty didn't want others to serve him anymore.

"Do you think this dress looks good?" Li Cong stretched out his hand and asked the palace servants to change his clothes. At the same time, he looked down at the newly changed robe, and said to Ji Qingzhou, "They always make yellow robes for me. Actually, I like them." Red."

The little emperor said it seriously, and at the end he didn't forget to take a look at Ji Qingzhou's blue underwear and said: "The blue one looks good too."

Ji Qingzhou couldn't help laughing a little, secretly thinking that the little emperor loves beauty, among other things, he really loves beauty. He not only likes good-looking people, but also likes good-looking clothes.

But Ji Qingzhou couldn't laugh soon, because he was standing by the screen of the inner hall, and vaguely heard the announcement from the inner servant from the outer hall, saying that Miss Qiu's family had come.It would be fine if Ji Qingzhou had been hiding in the inner hall. Once he went out, the other party would definitely recognize him. At that time, I just wondered whether Qiu Lanxi would say something that shouldn't be said in front of the regent.

In the outer hall, Qiu Lanxi followed two servant girls, stepped into the door, and unexpectedly saw Li Zhan standing by the window.

The man was dressed in a fine attire, his figure was tall and straight, his face was still as handsome as before, only his brows and eyes were a little more unpredictable.

If it had been the past, Qiu Lanxi would have blushed again when she saw him and couldn't help but be secretly delighted.But after experiencing Fengxian Pavilion last time, she only remembers the man's slender fingers almost crushing his jaw, and the man's beast-like gaze...

The ignorant and vague love in the girl's heart disappeared in an instant because of an unexpected accident, replaced by fear and anxiety for no reason.

"See you, my lord." Qiu Lanxi suppressed her uneasiness and fear, and bowed to Li Zhan.

"En." Li Zhan responded lightly, and quickly moved his eyes away from the girl, and said, "Your Majesty is changing clothes."

The atmosphere in the hall was very strange. Standing at the door, Qiu Lanxi didn't dare to go in, and felt that it would be impolite to withdraw, so he stood there in a dilemma for a while.And her pale complexion and slightly trembling body made her look even more abnormal.

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" the maid beside her asked.

"No." Ms. Qiu forced a smile, and said, "How about we..." Before she could finish her sentence, Li Cong ran out of the inner hall and rushed to Qiu Lanxi Holding her hand in front of her, she raised her head and called "Auntie".

"I've met Your Majesty." Qiu Lanxi's expression finally softened.

However, when she raised her head again at this time, she was caught off guard and saw the young man coming out from behind Li Cong.

Although she had only seen the delicate face of the young man once, it was hard not to remember it.Especially when she was most fearful and helpless, this thin and frail young man had protected her with all his might...

"It's you?" Qiu Lanxi blurted out.

Ji Qingzhou frowned slightly, and said: "The servant has seen Miss Qiu's family."

The man by the window raised his eyebrows almost invisible when he heard the words, and said, "Do you know each other?"

Qiu Lanxi was startled when he heard the words, realized something, and looked at the boy in a panic.

The young man cast a comforting look at her, and said, "Before I entered the palace, I met Miss Qiu's family at a poetry meeting."

Qiu Lanxi quickly came back to her senses, and said, "That's right... I learned that you have entered the palace as a servant, and I have been thinking about it."

Ji Qingzhou coughed lightly, reminding her not to say more, so as not to make too many mistakes.

Fortunately, Li Zhan didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The little emperor didn't see the confrontation between them, he shook Qiu Lanxi's arm with a smile, and said, "Auntie, do you want to have lunch with me?"

Although there will be a birthday banquet later, it is still early, so I have to eat something to fill my stomach.

"The empress dowager asked me to take your majesty to the Longevity Palace for dinner." Qiu Lanxi said.

"Okay, okay, I was going to pay my respects to the queen mother." The little emperor said hurriedly.

Qiu Lanxi took the little emperor's hand and bowed to the regent as if she had received an amnesty before leaving.

Before leaving, she glanced at Ji Qingzhou worriedly. Ji Qingzhou was about to take the opportunity to leave with him, but Li Zhan suddenly said: "Ji Qingzhou stays here, I have something to say to you."

Ji Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, secretly thinking something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhan waved away all the palace people in the hall.

"Do you still remember the rumors about Fengxian Pavilion?" the man asked.

Ji Qingzhou's breath was stagnant when he heard the words, his heart couldn't help beating violently, and his mind went blank.

He never expected that Li Zhan would actually ask him this question after the rumors had subsided for so long...

"Answer." The man said coldly.

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou lifted his robe, bent down and knelt down in front of the man, not daring to raise his head.

"Slave... remember." Ji Qingzhou said.

"Do you know who was in Fengxian Pavilion that night?" The man's voice sounded again.

Ji Qingzhou's thoughts turned sharply, and he forced himself to calm down, secretly thinking that if the regent is sure that it is him, why bother to ask him, and just silence him.If not, why ask him after the matter subsides?

There must be some reason, think again!

The cold sweat from Ji Qingzhou's forehead dripped on the ground in front of him. At that moment, a thought flashed in Ji Qingzhou's mind.

Because of Qiu Lanxi?

At this point, Ji Qingzhou can only gamble.

If you confess directly, there is no way out. If you take a risk, there may be a turning point.

"The servant in Fengxian Pavilion that night...had committed suicide in the lotus pond." Ji Qingzhou said: "Other than that, the slave knows nothing."

Li Zhan's eyes fell on the young man, he was silent for a moment, and asked again: "Aren't you curious about who the other person is?"

"Slave...don't dare to be curious." Ji Qingzhou replied.

"Raise your head." A man's voice sounded above the boy.

The young man mustered up the courage to look up, and saw the man was bending over to look at him, his eyes were deep and cold, with a bit of scrutiny.

"Ji Qingzhou, are you willing to be used by this king?" Li Zhan asked.

The young man suppressed his uneasiness and said, "Slave..."

"You don't need to call yourself a slave in front of this king." Li Zhan said again: "Your father used to be my teacher. He was a teacher for a day and a father for life. If I treat you as a slave, how will I explain to my teacher when I meet him in the future?"

Ji Qingzhou took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

"Then now... answer the king's question." Li Zhan said.

The young man met the man's gaze, trying to find some clues from the man's expression, but found nothing.But now he knew clearly in his heart that he had no other way to go.

"But at the lord's order." Ji Qingzhou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was "lifted" from the ground by a pair of big hands supporting his shoulders.

The familiar sense of deterrence on the man instantly enveloped the boy, and in just a moment, the boy's breathing became disordered.At that moment, Ji Qingzhou intuitively realized again that if the person in front of him wanted his life, it would be like crushing an ant.
